Summary
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. soon joined him. But there’s a perilous part of the story you may not know. In The Daily Article for July 20, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison shares how the astronauts were almost stranded on the moon, why Putin thinks he's winning the war in Ukraine, and why Christians should "not grow weary of doing good" (Galatians 6:9).

| 0:00.0 | I'll be blunt. We're seeking to raise nearly $500,000 by July 31st. Why? |
| 0:07.0 | Because Denison Forum is a 100% donor-funded nonprofit. We rely on God's grace and the generosity of our donors to keep our ministry running. |
| 0:19.0 | And we fully understand that you have scores of ministries |
| 0:22.7 | and other worthy causes you could donate to. |
| 0:25.6 | So why choose to support Denison Forum? |

| 0:50.3 | If you agree, please consider donating today. |

| 1:04.6 | Unfortunately, the American League defeated the National League in last night's nine-inning All-Star game. I say, unfortunately, because like millions of baseball fans, |

| 1:21.6 | would have decided the contest. |
| 1:23.6 | Three players from each league would have taken three swings apiece to determine the final |
| 1:29.0 | result. That would have made history. Of course, little compared with the history that was made |
| 1:34.5 | on this day in 1969 when Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. |
